Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cardinals found their guy under center in Beck: B.

The Cardinals spent the pick that matters most on Carson Beck, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

That Mertz pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Carson Beck
In the 8th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Value with a capital V on Kenneth Grant in pick 40, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Blake Miller
They paid a round early for Blake Miller in pick No. 72, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Jamon Dumas-Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136 Rnd5 Graham Mertz
They robbed the room for Graham Mertz here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd6 Dane Key
They let Dane Key come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd7 Tyreek Chappell
Tyreek Chappell in No. 200 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
